Useful git aliases when working with Maven and Jira

Put these into your .gitconfig below the alias section:

# Return all jira issue keys from commit messages

issues = !sh -c 'git log --oneline $@ | egrep -o [A-Z]+-[0-9]+ | sort -V | uniq' -

# Fetch id of latest commit from maven release plugin

release-commit = !sh -c 'git log --all --grep=maven-release-plugin.*prepare.release --format=%H| head -1'

# Return all jira issue keys since last usage of maven release plugin

issues-since-release = !sh -c 'git issues $(git release-commit)..'
